The views of the ocean from this apartment are incredible! Having the balcony was an added bonus. The apartment felt very private, with our own private entrance, but was steps away from the beach and the wonderful restaurant/bar below. The restaurant staff were super friendly and helpful. We walked about 1 km down the beach into the national park and had an incredible shoreline all to ourselves.

We spent 12 amazing days in Catalonia Royal La Romana ( romantic suite) in November this year. This hotel has everything you need for perfect vacation- beautiful beach with turquoise water, gourmet dinners, 3 pools , decent number of restaurants to choose from, 3 bars. But what actually makes this hotel so great is the people. We came late at night to check in and receptionist was so great - he got us drink, room service and free room upgrade. During our stay, receptionists were writing to us asking if we need any help or if they can do anything to make our stay better. Room was big and spacious and housekeeper was coming two times per day- to refil the water, coffe and to change towels. Guys on the beach will gladly assist you if you need spot on the beach ( the only " bad" part is the people coming early in the morning to "reserve" spots , but hotel has nothing to do with it - from what we've been told, it's not possible to make "reservation" for sunbeds and it's againts their policy, but I guess people are just being people.🤷‍♀️) When you are staying with Catalonia Royal, you can use all the facilities from neighborhood family hotel so there is always something to do- dance clases, mini street market, music shows etc. Some people were complaining about employees who are offering Catalonia membership; personally, we haven't had any issues with them. After the short meeting, we told them that we aren't interested and they didn't bother us at all, except asking us if everything is okay and how is vacation going. When it comes to staff, there are many great people working for the hotel. I don't remember all the names, but I'll try to mention some of them. Christina, Iris, Elvin, Randy, Victor , Keuri (? - hopefully I wrote his name right) from the restaurants. Thank you for being so nice and kind and always there for us.

The beach is extraordinary, clean water, warm but no so much so you can refresh yourself. The rooms are very comfortable, with great space and the staff is always very kind and helpful.

the swings loved it ,the salty pools are lovely , with a bit of sand around you get a bit of beach feeling and still can swim in the sea (no worries,they have life saving vests for those who cant swim )

This was my 5th visit at this hotel, the first being in 2002, when the resort had just opened, and my last one 10 years ago. The rooms are now renovated, as well as the bathrooms, which were updated to the current standards. The entire area has developed quite a bit, there are now shops nearby and places where you can spend time. When I was there last, there was nothing around the hotel. Now it's a small village with inner roads and dozens of small shops and small hotels. The port is now 5 minutes away just east of the resort, so it is easy to leave and arrive for/from excursions. The best restaurant in the resort is still the Gheisha (japanese). The kids loved the stay and can't wait to get back :)
